ZT-260 vs MG SV

[YorksMG2016]

Dear All

How does the 4.6 litre Mustang engine fitted to the SV-R, differ from the unit fitted to the ZT-260? (the former seems to have been more powerful even in non-supercharged form)
I have also read that a 5-litre v8 engine was fitted/planned to be fitted to the SV?

Thanks

There are a couple of SV/SVR forums.

The SVR engine was a 5 ltr quad cam engine supplied by Sean Hyland. I rebuilt all of them to cure a valve seat problem. The main difference was they had much better piston/conrods modified cylinder heads with high performance cams. The engines are much stronger and are about 65hp more than the standard SV unit. There were also a few 2 valve units the same as the ZT260 but fitted with Rouch blowers.

Thanks Scooter, sounds like that SVR engine was a beast!

The engine was strong enough to go to 800+hp
